Robotic Hysterectomy for Uterine Cancer

The Most Advanced Type of Minimally Invasive Surgery

Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus (womb), is the second most common surgical procedure performed on women. Robot-assisted surgery offers a new alternative to traditional surgery for many women as it is the most advanced type of minimally invasive surgery available today for hysterectomies. And, Rose Medical Center is among a small number of hospitals in the region using the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System to treat uterine cancer through a procedure called da Vinci Hysterectomy.

How Robotic Surgery Works

Through a high-tech control module, surgeons move miniaturized operating instruments that allow for extremely precise movements. In fact, robotic surgeons have a greater range of motion, they can see more clearly, and they have better dexterity when using the da Vinci system.

Advantages of Robot-Assisted Surgery

And for our patients, a robot-assisted hysterectomy has many advantages over traditional or open surgery, including:
